“Close your eyes and imagine this: You step out of your daily life and into a favorite storybook. You’re back with “The Farmer in the Dell,” standing on a beautiful green pasture. All around you roam the wonderful farm animals you’ve loved since you were a child: the sheep, the cows, the chickens, and more, all living in harmony. You feel a sense of tranquility around you and even inside you.”
